Business Classes Give Students Needed Practice Despite some past feelings that work and play don't mix, the Rickards Business Department succeeded in combining the two so that the students could enjoy their classes while they learned valuable skills. For instance, typing classes were allowed to type seasonal pictures during the holidays, and other classes were allowed to go on field trips to various restuarants for lunch to strengthen student fellowship. Things were easier on both students and teachers this year because almost all classes met every day so students could keep up with new skills and practice old ones. Another improvement over last year was being able to have the same teachers for class each day rather than a different teacher for each day as was the case last year. Two new teachers in the business department this year were Nlrs. Carol Stewart, a former business teacher at Leon High School, and Nlr. Roosevelt Lumpkin, who was teaching for his first year, after graduating from Air Force Personnel School, Lackland AFB, Texas. He took the place of Nlr. Tom Askins early in the year.

Work Experience Program Adds Another Unit Food servers, stock clerks, cashiers, a meat cutter trainee, an offset printer trainee, bagboys, busboys, sales- persons, a plumber trainee, a photo copier and service station attendants were all among Rickards' ninth and tenth graders. They were some of the 87 students in these grades who took advantage of the work experience pro- gram offered bythe school this year. The program expanded so much than another unit had to be added this year to handle the enrollment, making a total of five classes. Mrs. Nancy Floyd was new to the program and Mrs. Gretchen Ostrom returned this year after having filled out last year for another work experience teacher. Second semester lVlr. M.T. Brown was changed from campus supervisor to the program to handle the extra students. Mr. E.A. Kershaw and Mr. George Williams continued to work in this area. Mr. Williams speculated that the program had grown so much in the past few years because, lt fills the needs of every student who wants economic independence. So many students qualified for the program that all who applied could not be accepted. fRightj Theresa Flowers rearranges towels while she works at Neisner Ls.
